There has been one concern about the Fog Thief that the community has been talking about that we would like to address: drooling.

Drooling occurs naturally and unfortunately, there is no way around it. Even swimmers who use snorkels have salivation that they must manage with their devices. As Fog Thief works similarly to a snorkel, it is the same deal.

Unlike a snorkel where you have to blow out the tube on a regular basis, Fog Thief allows the moisture to drain out and below your helmet and on your waterproof jacket. A snorkel can get clogged up with the saliva on a regular basis and requires clearing but the Fog Thief works with gravity to have it exit from the tubes. This means the Fog Thief will not clog up from moisture unless it is below 15 degrees at which point it breaks off naturally.

You can rest assured that even in cold temperatures, you will not need to worry about your Fog Thief clogging up from drooling or freezing.

Check out their review and see what Snowriders has to say about our game-changing product! It’s further proof that Fog Thief does the trick to stop helmet fog and allow you to ride your snowmobile without the hassle of losing your vision.

We have had another press release done on the Fog Thief recently and we have decided to share it here on the Fog Thief website as well. Click on the preview image below to download the Press Release (PDF format, must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed).

Using a full face mask, such as the balaclava, doesn’t prevent fog build up in your helmet (although it does great in helping to keep the cold air from getting to you). This doesn’t mean you have to stop using one. It is possible to have the best of both worlds!

Above, we have a buddy of mine sporting one of his balaclavas and is also using a Fog Thief device. He only extended the size of the hole a little bit in his mask for his comfort and the Fog Thief had no trouble fitting.

Fog Thief can still direct the moisture down and away from the helmet to keep the fog away. Thus, you can enjoy wearing your full mask for warmth and have the Fog Thief improve your vision.

How many times have you gone out on your snowmobile in those cold temperatures and had your vision blocked because your helmet visor was fogging up?

It is a big issue. If you can’t see through your shield, how are you going to enjoy your ride?

Everyone knows the fogging is cause by your breath. You can’t exactly stop breathing so you need some way to deal with this annoying and dangerous problem. There is a lot of advice out there that will tell you to use sprays or buy expensive heated visors for your helmet, wear special masks…They even tell you to crack your visor open a little for ventilation but that has it’s own consequences, too. To top it off, a little search on the internet will show you that most of these anti fogging methods just don’t work.

So how is a snowmobiler suppose to reduce or eliminate altogether this helmet visor fog problem?

The best help is Fog Thief.

Fog Thief fits right in most modern helmets to get rid of helmet fog

While sprays are full of chemicals and require multiple applications, Fog Thief is chemical-free and doesn’t need to be re-applied over and over again. Other ant- fogging methods such as heated visors and masks cost a lot of money and can get quite expensive. Fog Thief is having a special price of $24.95 right now (normal price is $34.95).

The method of cracking your visor open to deal with the moist breath fog issue leaves you feeling freezing cold. Fog Thief slips right inside your helmet so that you don’t have to make any sacrifices to yourself.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up of a snowmobile show that is happening this month. The Waconia Ride In Event is taking place on January 24 – 26 in Waconia, Minnesota. The show starts at 8am on each day so you’ll want to be sure to get there early.

If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a well-known vintage and antique snowmobile show so you’ll get to witness a bit of history for yourself. It is a big enough show where they took aerial shots of the event live! Scroll down the page to see the photos. We have just one of the photos below:

It’s their 24th annual which means these guys have a lot of good years for their show.

They also already have their 2015 schedule in place where their 2015 show is January 23 – 25. Mark your calendars for that one, too!

The added bonus for this show? Instead of having to tow your trailer around, you can part it right at the show grounds. (Just make sure to have your trailer locked up before you head out.) How’s that for convenience?

Registration is now open on the Fog Thief website! Upon registering and verifying your account with our website, you’ll be able to participate in discussions on the website as well as track any bookings for shows with us.

We’ll have more member features added to the website in the future so stay tuned!

As 2014 is just around the corner, we decided to start doing a “winter cleaning” around here on the Fog Thief website. (“Spring cleaning” would be the proper term but seeing as how it isn’t exactly spring right now… 😉 )

Our first hit for this revamping is our Photo Gallery. Our previous system went kaput on us so it was time to replace it with a new one. In addition, the photos got cleaned up and a few other little adjustments so that they didn’t look so washed out.

After the results of the Toronto Show we had in October, it gave us the opportunity to not only give Fog Thief an official launch, but also get one-on-one personal with our customers. We got great feedback and have been working to make that input a reality.

The top request was more colors so that has been our first initiative. We got the first test results of the Fog Thief in four other colors: blue, red, orange and yellow. (Don’t worry, ladies – pink is in the works!) The photo above shows the results of those four colors in action paired with our black and original white colors. Click the image to get a full size view.

We will make another announcement when the additional colors are ready for ordering.
